Game over: Red Sox 11, Yankees 1 The Red Sox win it with power ball tonight. A third-inning grand slam by Mike Napoli off Phil Hughes pretty much turned this into Boston’s game early on. Daniel Nava hit a three-run shot in the eighth and Stephen Drew with a solo homer in the 9th.

Nava went 4 for 6 with four RBI. Felix Doubront pitched well and is now 4-2. The game was played in 3:25 before a sellout of 48,784.

Top 9th: Red Sox 11, Yankees 1 – Red Sox are piling on. Stephen Drew homered. Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a ground rule double and scored on Jose Iglesias’ single. Jackie Bradley doubled to left field before Nava grounded out as the 11th run scored. That’s four RBI for Nava.

We’ll bring you updates from the Red Sox-Yankees game throughout the night. The pregame buzz was over Bernando LaPallo who is 111 years old and doesn’t look a day over 70. I guess we can call LaPallo the longest living Yankee fan. He was born in 1901. I asked what his secret to his long life was and he said that he kept away from wild women, alcohol and meat. His face barely has a wrinkle on his face and claims applying olive oil on his face after he shaves is the key there.
